WiE-LA is excited to present eDiscovery Challenges with IoT and Emoji. Organizations face monumental challenges around Internet of Things (IoT) and information management today. The presentation provides insights to the magnitude of IoT's impact and how the challenge will exponentially increase if not addressed properly. Compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (A.B. 375) will be discussed. The presentation includes IoT data forensics and the amendments to FRE 902 in December of 2017.

Additionally, the session will cover the explosion of emoji and gifs in workplace communication and how they need to be included in the eDiscovery strategy. Will you need an emoji translator?

About Our Chapter's Charitable Work

WiE LA supports the Downtown Women’s Center and welcomes donations of your good quality, clean, new or gently used clothing, shoes and handbags at our meetings (full list of acceptable items here: http://www.downtownwomenscenter.org/our-wishlist/). Additionally, DWC is in need of commercial washing machines and dryers for its two residences and we are hoping our member Firms can help. After eight years of daily use by 119 residents, the washers and dryers are unable to keep up with the demand. Right now, DWC residents are not able to wash their clothes and other items. The Center needs a total of 12 commercial washer/dryer sets for the San Pedro and Los Angeles Street residences. For more information, please contact Mara Leong-Maguinez, Director of Development, at MaraL@DowntownWomensCenter.org or (213) 213-2834, and don't forget to register for this month's meeting!
